Man I am having trouble getting used to using my Fitbit with MFP. Since my Fitbit now tracks all my exercise and syncs the data to my diary, I no longer can enter it into MFP or it gets tallied twice. But I liked that people could see me working out and keep me accountable. I'm not quite sure what to do about that. Advice?

    People know you worked out by seeing the "fitbit" adjustment calories when they look at your diary...
    I have a fitbit, and mine is like this and all my "MFP friends" know the exercise is there.

    edited to add: MFP also has the fitbit steps logged here on MFP as well, go to reports and you see it there and also under "check in"...

    Post your exercise as a status update.

    Great idea...most of my friends won't go looking into my diary.
